Establishment of a mouse xenograft model of metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare neoplasm with a poor prognosis. Very important advances have been made in the identification of the genetic determinants of adrenocortical carcinoma pathogenesis but our understanding is still limited about the mechanisms that determine cancer spread and metastasis. One major problem hindering preclinical experimentation for new therapies for adrenocortical ca...
متن کاملEstablishment and characterization of a primary human chordoma xenograft model.
OBJECT Chordomas are rare tumors arising from remnants of the notochord. Because of the challenges in achieving a complete resection, the radioresistant nature of these tumors, and the lack of effective chemotherapeutics, the median survival for patients with chordomas is approximately 6 years. Reproducible preclinical model systems that closely mimic the original patient's tumor are essential ...
متن کاملEstablishment and characterization of the first pediatric adrenocortical carcinoma xenograft model identifies topotecan as a potential chemotherapeutic agent.
PURPOSE Pediatric adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy. Conventional chemotherapeutic agents have shown limited utility and are largely ineffective in treating children with advanced ACC. The lack of cell lines and animal models of pediatric ACC has hampered the development of new therapies. Here we report the establishment of the first pediatric ACC xenogra...
متن کاملEstablishment and characterization of human medulloblastoma xenograft line.
A new xenotransplantable tumor line, MED-FU, was derived from a 6-year-old female patient with cerebellar medulloblastoma. This tumor was grown in nude mice as serially transplantable subcutaneous xenografts composed of small round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei and scant cytoplasm. Many rosettes and mitoses were observed. Immunohistochemically, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), S-100 p...
متن کاملEstablishment and characterization of a novel xenograft model of human gastrointestinal stromal tumor in mice.
BACKGROUND The clinical outcome of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) has been improved by the introduction of molecular-targeting drugs. However, resistance to these drugs appears during the course of treatment. The aim of this study was to establish and characterize a human xenograft model of GIST. MATERIALS AND METHODS GIST tissue from a patient with esophageal GIST was implanted under ...
